ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is an attempt at a far simpler and soothing image to that which my work usually ends up appearing as. Here I have blended two artists who inspire me greatly, these being Mark Rothko and Rene Magritte. Inspired by Rothko, I created the sparse, warm, orange and yellow ochre background after which I added the oval with its name as a nod to Magritte's method of adding word with image. The contrast between the oval which is painted with Oil Stick and the Acrylic background is meant to give a stark contrast between the two and hopefully make the duality between object and name more apparent.

Tom engages with an eclectic range of images taken from the everyday, books, art history, and television. By funnelling a broad range of source material onto the canvas, the work oozes ambiguity. Although Tom is extremely selective with his choice of word and image, he combines them in such a way to blur any apparent meaning, allowing for a unique and individual voyage into the deep void created by the multitude of layers of paint and newspaper on the canvas. Tom’s work orbits around anti-capitalist themes as his bombastic brush strokes become an expression of detest towards powers of corruption. Tom’s work is a protest against the spiritually depraved world we live in and aims to sustain and invigorate the culture of art he is so infatuated by. Tom is a London-based artist who is a graduate from the University of Brighton and is currently studying a masters at UAL: Camberwell.
